Springs Kitchen, located within the new Aloft Perth hotel, will officially open its doors on Friday May 26, 2017 for guests, visitors and residents living in and around the Springs Rivervale precinct.

Open from 6:00am until late daily, Springs Kitchen will be a place for meetings, catch-ups and special events for locals, visitors and guests of the hotel. The fresh décor at Springs Kitchen, designed by local Perth team Design Theory, features pops of colour and greenery that will entice travellers, passers-by and people from many surrounding suburbs.

Located at 27 Rowe Avenue in Springs Rivervale, the Aloft Perth is just a short distance from the Central Business District.

The Springs Kitchen cuisine is modern and approachable with a focus on fresh, local produce. Head chef, Giovanni Di Serio is gaining recognition as one of Perth’s top chefs, having previously worked in Gardenia, a Michelin Star restaurant in Europe. Since moving to Perth in 2007, Di Serio has been Head Chef at trend-setting Perth restaurants including Nolita and Asado, and was a key team member at Lalla Rookh.

Di Serio said he was excited to apply his experience gained across Europe to the vibrant and burgeoning Perth restaurant market and have the chance to create a unique venue that would introduce tourists to West Australian cuisine and be the heart and soul of the local community.

“I am looking forward to applying my international experience and local produce knowledge to create a great culinary experience for both locals and visitors to Perth. Springs Kitchen is a unique proposition in that it really promises to be the beating heart of this new community – I want to make sure we deliver on that promise.”

Springs Kitchen will demonstrate Di Serio’s and his team’s passion for all local produce. The restaurant will also proudly support local artisans such as Humblebee Coffee Roasters, Bread in Common Bakery and Mary St Bakery.

“I am passionate about creating dishes centred upon fresh produce first. In Perth we are blessed with an incredible selection of seasonal produce, so I have crafted my dishes to highlight this and give both tourists and locals using the hotel an insight into Western Australia,” Di Serio said.

The menu features a series of dishes that celebrate the local produce available in Western Australia. The breakfast menu offers diners a broad selection of “morning grazing” options including light, substantial and signature breakfast choices. For lunch and dinner, the menu includes a range of share plates, main dishes and desserts carefully crafted by head chef Di Serio.

Aloft Perth General Manager Stephen Morahan said opening the Springs Kitchen will be an important step in bringing the exciting new Springs Rivervale precinct to life by providing a local eatery and meeting place.

“At Springs Kitchen, expect a fantastic local atmosphere with regulars popping in for their morning coffee or dining at their favourite spot on the alfresco. Our proximity to the River means that we expect many people to find their way to us as part of their daily stroll or ride. We’ve made sure we have the facilities to look after people’s furry friends when their owners pop in for a coffee on our terrace as part of their exercise regime.”

Aloft Perth is only a few minutes by car from Perth’s growing commercial and shopping heart; its vibrant Northbridge nightlife; the glamorous Burswood entertainment precinct; and the new world-class Perth Stadium, which will begin hosting major sporting and entertainment events during 2018.
